The show starts around the time the Steelers traded up to select Devin Bush tenth overall. We spend the time leading up to the Panthers picks making fun of the Raiders for taking Clelin Ferrell fourth overall and the Giants for picking Daniel Jones sixth overall. The Panthers pick is met with much pomp and circumstance and other stuff. Brian gets excited. Jon gets mad at Brian. It’s a whole thing. We share our thoughts on the pick and how he fits with the Carolina Panthers going forward. We talk about the pick for awhile with some other draft talk interspersed throughout. Most of it involves making fun of other NFL general managers. I mean, come on guys. The draft shouldn’t be this hard. We refer to comments people left in the YouTube chat at times. I think we answered with enough context so you won’t be lost listening to this after the fact. The Carolina Panthers 2019 season is nearly upon us, and the team has a really tough test in their home opener as the Los Angeles Rams are coming to town. Lots of guys have plenty of things to prove entering the season... so let’s get started talking about who they are, and what we need them to prove.Prove ItLT Daryl WilliamsNo one on the Carolina Panthers 53 man roster has more to prove than Daryl Williams. After an injury marred 2018 where he was supposed to be the team’s starting right tackle, he lost his spot to a younger and super talented Taylor Moton. Instead of letting him go in free agency DJ Moore Color Rush Jersey , the Panthers signed him to a one year “prove it” contract, to show whether he can make it as a left tackle in today’s NFL. He will face what is possibly his toughest test of the year right out of the gate against a Rams front that has a good claim to being the best defensive line unit in the league.WR Curtis SamuelThe dubious title of “training camp MVP” was granted to Curtis Samuel by various local media outlets, which is almost the Charlotte equivalent of the “Madden Curse” when it comes to projecting regular season performance.Regardless of that fact, it’s probably true. Cam Newton and Curtis Samuel were hooking things up in the passing game like a couple of guys who have had much longer careers together. Samuel in my eyes needs to prove two things... that it can translate to the regular season, and that he can stay healthy for sixteen games worth of full time work.QB Cam NewtonSpeaking of the man himself, I would be remiss if we didn’t talk about Cam. Now a cagey veteran coming off his second shoulder surgery, he doesn’t have a whole lot to prove to anybody on the field, but he does have a lot to prove to a front office trying to decide what their future at the quarterback position will look like. There is no doubt a healthy Cam Newton should definitely be the future for this team, but he has to show over the course of this season that his shoulder is indeed the 100% that it is claimed to be. Hopefully the offensive line and his receivers can do him the favor of making things a little easier on him than it has been in the past.The Front Five aka “The Sackstreet Boys”Sackstreet’s back.. ALRIGHT! But seriously James Color Rush Bradberry Jersey , we have been salivating all preseason about a pass rushing entourage featuring Brian Burns, Mario Addison, Gerald McCoy, Kawann Short, and Dontari Poe... and now it is time for them to live up to their name. The New England Patriots neutralized the Rams passing attack in last year’s Super Bowl with overwhelming pressure, and shut down Sean McVay’s highly touted offense. For the Panthers to win, they will have to do the same. This group looks pretty amazing on paper, now it is time to see it on the field. Anything less than three sacks and a mountain of pressures and hurries will be a disappointing outing on any given week for this unit.CB Javien ElliottJavien Elliott won the preseason competition to be the starting nickel corner for Carolina, and the spotlight will be on him to prove that he can shoulder that burden. He was definitely a lone bright spot in an abysmal Tampa Bay Buccaneers secondary last year Ian Thomas Jersey , but he’ll need to show right away that he can handle facing a daunting challenge from the Rams receiver corps. Brandin Cooks, Robert Woods, and Cooper Kupp could all line up opposite him throughout the game. Talk about a baptism by fire.S Tre BostonFor a guy who wasn’t with the team until pretty recently, the Panthers have a lot riding on Tre Boston. He will come into Sunday as the starter at free safety, which since he has worked in Ron Rivera’s defense before might be ok, but you still have to wonder why he was available at the point the Panthers signed him. We haven’t had a good look at him yet, and he’ll be a busy man on Sunday.
